Property is exactly as pictured and obviously well loved. Many thoughtful and creative touches throughout the house. Adults traveling together need to be aware that “2 bedrooms” includes the living room with a sofa bed and then an upstairs bedroom with two double beds side by side. The living room could actually be made into a private room through the use of the French doors and an ingenious divider that drops from the ceiling and incorporates the half bath. We did not use the sofa bed, so cannot attest to comfort. Our friend slept in the upstairs room by the stairs and said it was a comfortable, firm bed and she was cozy, especially with the mattress heater. My husband and I slept on the porch, also with the heaters, as it got down to 39 on our last night! We found those beds to be too soft for the two of us together, so slept separately and were comfy. A new mattress on at least the east bed might be in order.
The screened porch is the most wonderful place on the property, unless you count the adirondacks by the river!!!, and we spent a lot of time in both places when we weren’t hiking. Someone else has already mentioned the hikes. Wonderful! Get a North park map and use it!
Kitchen is well stocked with many essentials for cooking, as well as paper and cleaning products and cookware. A nice addition would be an automatic drip coffee pot, but there is even a salad spinner! We brought our own because I hate wet salads and had to laugh when we saw one in the pantry!!! DO take the owners’ advice about shopping for groceries and alcohol in FC before coming up the canyon!
We enjoyed watching a movie a couple nights, playing cards on the porch, and then dropping into beds bone tired from hiking. The WiFi worked great, so if you don’t want the big and little kids to be on their devices, pretend there isn’t any!!! 😜. If you like to read in bed, bring book lights, as the lighting is not conducive for that.
John was very responsive, both before the trip and during the week, and returned the deposit within a few days. We had a great time, enjoyed the cabin and the canyon and would come back. Thanks for sharing this cool old family treasure with the public! I don’t think I could do it!
